Ian is drinking a Tasty Rainbow - Blackcurrant by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

Purple, fruity, tart. This "Tasty Rainbow" series has been an interesting experience. As far removed from "beer" as you could get, but I've enjoyed them.

Ian is drinking an Iron Brew 2024 by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

Maybe it tastes like Irn-Bru, but I've never had it to compare. Don't like it at all. It has a soapy aftertaste. I thought it was maybe my glass, so I poured the rest of the can into a different glass. Nope, same soapy taste. Close to a sink pour.

Ian is drinking a Peach & Passion Fruit Bellini by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

The least sour, sour I've ever had. If anything, I'd say it was quite sweet. Fruity, creamy and really nice.

Ian is drinking a Raspberry Strawberry Coconut Ripple by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

It is indeed a cornucopia of flavours. I couldn't have described them, but if VC say it's raspberry, strawberry and coconut, that's good enough for me.

Ian is drinking an Even S'more Double Maple Triple Chocolate Blueberry by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

It's a very nice ale. All of the expected flavours from the beer name are there, but all blended so well that none of them dominate. Even the sourness is subtle, due to the sweetness from the chocolate. And, as is common now, the high strength is hidden.

Ian is drinking a Pear & Elderflower Session Sour by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

This is fantastic. Possibly the best yet of my Vault City haul. Hazy, floral, even perfumy in a nice way. Less tart than my previous sours. Cracking stuff.

Ian is drinking a Violets by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

Quite tart, this one. The flavour is indeed reminiscent of violet sweets as intended, so job done. Can't for the life of me think of what they were called though. Very nice ale.

Ian is drinking a Giant Raspberry Blueberry Bubblegum Bottles by Vault City Brewing at Birky's

Well, it's blue. Very blue. Bonkers. Tastes of tart raspberries, with a lengthy tart aftertaste. It's very nice. My better half pulled a face and said it's "bloody awful", so that always means it's good! Hides it's strength. And my tongue is blue too.....
